Cooking is more than a passion for travel marketing executive Manisha Sharma. The 36-year-old Sharma, who was trained as a chef, couldn’t unfortunately make a living utilising her culinary kills. “When I was 17, in the final year of college, with dreams of working in a five-star hotel, a searing pain shot through my spine two days before my exams. Before that, I used to spend entire days experimenting with cuisine. After that, my back problem didn’t permit me to stand for 12 hours in a hotel kitchen.” "
